	"fmt"

	"github.com/stellaraf/go-utils/encryption"
)

func main() {
	passphrase := "super secret password"
	data := "value to encrypt"
	encrypted, err := encryption.Encrypt(passphrase, data)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	decrypted, err := encryption.Decrypt(passphrase, encrypted)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(decrypted)

Functions

func Decrypt

func Decrypt(passphrase, ciphertext string) (decrypted string, err error)

Decrypt decrypts a cipher that was encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption.

Usage:

passphrase := "super secret password"
cipherText := "cipher value"
decrypted, err := encryption.Decrypt(passphrase, cipherText)

func Encrypt

func Encrypt(passphrase, plaintext string) (encrypted string, err error)

Encrypt encrypts a given string using AES-256-GCM encryption with a passphrase.

Usage:

passphrase := "super secret password"
value := "value to be encrypted"
encrypted, err := encryption.Encrypt(passphrase, value)
